Marine protective and anti-fouling coating system specifications per NORSOK M-501 Ed.7, ISO 12944-5/9:2018, and IMO AFS Convention 2001. Covers anti-fouling types (self-polishing copolymer SPC with copper/booster biocides, tin-free ablative, hard copper, silicone fouling-release, biocide-free hydrogel), anti-corrosion systems by zone (atmospheric, immersed, splash, deck, topside), thermal spray aluminum (TSA), specialty coatings (ballast tank PSPC, cargo tank, subsea FBE riser, ice-class, anti-condensation), and maintenance systems. Attributes include surface preparation grade (ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5/Sa 3), DFT per coat and total DFT in microns, number of coats, application method, and design service life.
